“From the minute he came onboard, he’s been our star player and he’s the one that’s been keeping the team in the playoffs. From day one, the question has been, ‘Is he going to sign a contract next year?’ He’s never given an answer to any questions in regards to this and a lot of the major teams are trying to get him. So what can we throw at him to make him want to stay? We want to get the support of the city behind Kawhi and ensure he’s comfortable in a multimillion-dollar condo that is built for a king,” says Mass of the reasoning behind his offer.

The 13,000-square-feet mansion has seven bedrooms, each its own self-contained suites, while the customized master suite boasts two dressing rooms and a spa-like ensuite bathroom (one of 11 within the home). According to records obtained by the <em>Los Angeles Times</em>, Leonard's California home was originally listed at $15.995 million at the time of sale, meaning he bought the place for nearly $2.7 million under asking.

However, Raptors fans are hoping that in addition to this house in California, Kawhi Leonard will have a home (and job) in Toronto, too.
